Made it Through is a hopeful song, written at the start of the pandemic (March 2020), dreaming about what it might feel like to be at the end of all of this, whenever that is. As we are now moving towards more and more people being vaccinated, and it's becoming safer to resume going out like we used to, it feels like the right time to have this out in the world.
lyrics
Sunrise, a new day at last
Heartbreak, leave it in the past
Stop to breathe it in, it’s gone too fast
Feeling every high and low
Somehow, time it never slows
Ooh ooh - that’s just the way it goes
Oh ooh
Sun’s up, and it’s feeling good
Jump in, it’s just me and you
Ooh see how we made it through
See how we made it through
Come now, raise your voices high
Feel it - this moment, it’s our life
Ooh ooh - now’s our time (now’s our time)
Lay down all the sorrows
No room, just got to let go
Oh ooh that’s just the way it goes
Sun’s up, and it’s feeling good
Jump in, it’s just me and you
Ooh see how we made it through
It’s calling, can you hear it too?
It’s saying there’s nothing left to prove
Ooh see how we made it through
See how we made it through
Listen, can you hear it
It’s whispering in the wind
Listen, can you hear it
It’s calling you from within
Listen, can you hear it
You just got to lean in
Listen can you hear it
Can you hear it
Ooh
Sun’s up, and it’s feeling good
Jump in, it’s just me and you
Ooh see how we made it through
It’s calling, can you hear it too?
It’s saying there’s nothing left to prove
Ooh see how we made it through
See how we made it through
See how we made it through
